TMI?s

I'm having a c-section in Jan#1 when the epidural is done where is it placed? I have been told in 2 diff places... shoulder blades area and normal lower back....#2 with a c-sec should I expect to bleed as I did when I had a vaginal delivery? I've asked the dr and the nurse practitioner said the epidural is done between my shoulder blades and the OB kinda ignored the question.... And they both said all women bleed differently... That didn't answer my question even in the slightest.... I just didn't like the diaper kind of pads things I was given last time, and had my husband go buy me maxi pads. So I would like to know what to take along this time.... THANX.

Both my csections the epidural was in the center of my back, as for bleeding unfortunately yes you will. I used the big annoying uncomfortable pads in the hospital but after the first 24 hrs i started using my own, just make sure they are big and have good coverage.
